Written Answers Friday 17 September 2010

Scottish Executive

Animal Welfare

Jamie McGrigor (Highlands and Islands) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to revoke the ban on the tail docking of working dogs and, if so, when.

Richard Lochhead: The report on tail injuries in dogs by the Royal Veterinary College and Bristol University was sent to a number of organisations and individuals who were asked to comment on the findings. The points and comments raised by the respondents are presently being analysed. The report, other evidence which has been submitted and the views of respondents will be carefully considered by the Scottish Government on whether any change to the present ban on the tail docking of working dogs could be justified.

  If such a change in policy were proposed, it would be a requirement to issue a formal consultation, as it would be necessary to amend the Prohibited Procedures on Protected Animals (Exemptions) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 and the amendment would need to be agreed by the Parliament.

Bees

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether there have been any cases of colony collapse disorder reported with regard to Scotland’s bee population since 1999

Richard Lochhead: No cases of colony collapse disorder have been reported in Scotland’s bee population since 1999.

Bees

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it considers that colony collapse disorder is a threat to Scotland’s bee population.

Richard Lochhead: Colony collapse disorder describes a number of symptoms rather than a disease with a single defined cause such as virus or bacterium. With our current limited understanding of colony collapse disorder in other countries we cannot say that it is a threat to Scotland’s bee population. However, we cannot be complacent, bee keepers should maintain vigilance for disease symptoms and report any suspicion of disease to Scottish Government bee inspectors.

Disclosure Scotland

Bill Aitken (Glasgow) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what the average length is of time taken for applications made for a certificate to Disclosure Scotland to be processed.

Adam Ingram: Disclosure Scotland operates to a public performance target of issuing 90% of all types of disclosure applications within 14 calendar days. This is measured from the date the fully and correctly completed application is received by Disclosure Scotland to the date of dispatch and excludes any time an application spends in exception. Examples of exception time include where an enquiry has been sent to a police force and the application is put on hold until the force responds, and where the application is put on hold while further information is requested from the applicant.

  In August 2010, 93% of the fully and correctly completed applications were processed within the 14 day target with an average processing time of 5.8 days.

Education

Cathie Craigie (Cumbernauld and Kilsyth) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what annual fees per pupil are charged to local authorities by each grant-aided special school.

Michael Russell: The Special Schools (Scotland) Grant Regulations 1990 require that grant-aided special schools’ fee levels for local authority pupil placements are approved by Scottish Ministers. The grant-aided special schools provide a range of services to local authorities and their fee structures reflect that diversity. For the financial year 2010-11, Scottish Ministers approved the following fee levels:

Fisheries

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-34479 by Richard Lochhead on 28 June 2010, whether it considers that the protected geographical indication regulation on Scottish farmed salmon must be read with and comply with the fundamental regulation, Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and, if so, whether it will clarify the steps that it is taking to remove the discrepancies between the single document and the specification.

Richard Lochhead: A valid specification has been granted in relation to Scottish Farmed Salmon and it is this document that defines the terms of the PGI. This was done in compliance with Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 which lays down the rules on the protection of designations of origin and geographical indications for the agricultural products and foodstuffs, as read with the detailed rules for its implementation laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006.

Fisheries

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-34479 by Richard Lochhead on 28 June 2010, whether it considers that, since the qualifying activity for the Scottish farmed salmon protected geographical indication (PGI) is the production of fresh fish, every stage of such PGI salmon production from parent fish to slaughter is required to be done in a designated area as per Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, article 2.1(b).

Richard Lochhead: The current specification of the PGI for Scottish Farmed Salmon is consistent with Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 which does not require that all stages of the production process must take place in the geographical area.

Fisheries

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-34479 by Richard Lochhead on 28 June 2010, whether it considers the protected geographical indication regulation on Scottish farmed salmon to cover only the seawater phase of salmon production and not the freshwater phase.

Richard Lochhead: The specification for the Scottish Farmed Salmon PGI applies to the production of the fish from harvesting of the eggs up to distribution stage. The full specification can be viewed at:

  http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodfarm/food/industry/regional/foodname/products/registered/index.htm#5.

Fisheries

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-34479 by Richard Lochhead on 28 June 2010, what its assessment is of the impact on the long-term reputation of Scottish farmed salmon if the whole lifecycle of the salmon is not covered by a protected geographical indication designation that guarantees the provenance of the product.

Richard Lochhead: Scottish Farmed Salmon has PGI status as approved by European Commission Regulation (EC) No 1195/2008. There is no indication that the reputation of Scottish Farmed Salmon has been negatively affected by this specification as approved by the European Commission.

Fisheries

John Scott (Ayr) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has made representations to the European Commission to ask for action to be taken to deny Faroese fishermen access to Scottish and other EU ports.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has been working closely with the European Commission to examine every possible option to bring both Iceland and Faroes back to the negotiating table. I have twice written to Commissioner Damanaki and also spoken to her to request that she take a strong stance against the irresponsible behaviour of both countries. She has agreed to look at a variety of options.

Fisheries

John Scott (Ayr) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, in light of the unilateral increase of their mackerel quotas by Iceland and the Faroe Islands, whether it has made representations to the European Commission to prevent those countries carrying out their declared intention to catch these quotas in EU waters.

Richard Lochhead: The Icelandic and Faroese unilateral quotas are for catches in their respective waters. Any attempt to catch these quotas in EU waters would be in contravention of international law. There is no indication that either party has or will attempt to fish its unilateral quota in EU waters.

Fisheries

John Scott (Ayr) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what action it is taking to preserve the rights of Scottish scallop fishermen in the Isle of Man area.

Richard Lochhead: Scottish Government officials are in ongoing discussions with representatives of the Isle of Man and UK Fisheries Administrations about proposals by the Isle of Man Government for scallop management measures in the Isle of Man 3 to 12 nautical mile zone. Scottish scallop fishermen have an established and long-standing interest in the conduct of the fishery, in which they are important participants.

  The Scottish Government shares the Isle of Man authorities’ desire for effective management of the scallop stocks in the long-term interests of all those participating in the fishery. Our aim is to ensure that any conservation measures which may be put in place in Isle of Man waters should be non-discriminatory and take full account of the interests of the Scottish industry.

Fisheries

John Scott (Ayr) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, following the reduction of quotas and days at sea, what action it is taking to maintain the viability of the demersal fishing sector and associated downstream industries.

Richard Lochhead: On 14 September 2010 the Scottish Fisheries Council endorsed the broad lines of a comprehensive "four pillar" fisheries management plan put forward by the Scottish Government. The plan will be refined in the light of discussion at the council and is designed to help secure the future of the Scottish fishing industry.

  More than £12 million is now in place to support the new plan, which includes funding for a licence parking scheme, fleet modernisation and work to maximise the value of the catch. At its heart, the plan offers actions to weather current economic conditions, prepare for the future prosperity of the fishing industry and promote Scottish priorities within Europe.

  Full details of the plan can be found on the Scottish Government website at:

  http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/marine/Sea-Fisheries/ScottishFisheriesCounci/SFC140910Papers.

Fisheries

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what financial support it will offer to individuals, businesses or fishing communities affected by the total allowable catch quotas for mackerel set by Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

Richard Lochhead: The taking of mackerel by Icelandic and Faeroese fishermen has no immediate effect on Scottish individuals, businesses or fishing communities. However, the Scottish Government is doing everything possible to avoid the negative medium-term economic consequences that overfishing of the mackerel stock might entail.

Fisheries

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive how much was awarded in funding through the European Fisheries Fund programme in 2008-09.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government awarded £10.8 million in funding through the European Fisheries Fund programme in 2008-09.

Fisheries

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive how much was awarded in funding through the European Fisheries Fund programme in 2009-10.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government made awards amounting to £13.8 million through the European Fisheries Fund programme in 2009-10.

Fisheries

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive how much it expects to award in funding through the European Fisheries Fund programme in September 2010.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government will award £17.8 million through the European Fisheries Fund in September 2010.

Fisheries

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive whether contingencies are in place to increase the money available to the European Fisheries Fund programme to meet any increase in demand.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government awarded £17.8 million in funding through European Fisheries Fund programme in September 2010. Future funding levels will be considered in the forthcoming spending review.

Forestry

Peter Peacock (Highlands and Islands) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what support is available to assist communities with the costs of the infrastructure necessary to allow the extraction of local timber supplies.

Richard Lochhead: Grant incentives to assist communities for the support of forestry infrastructure are available through the Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP) and the Strategic Timber Transport Scheme.

  The options available through SRDP include the "Provision and Upgrading of Infrastructure" option in Rural Priorities and the option under Land Managers "Access Creation for Sustainable Forest Management". These mechanisms may provide support for community land based businesses seeking to develop infrastructure to access forest land.

  The Strategic Timber Transport Scheme could also provide communities with co-funding provided the proposal meets the criteria of the scheme.

Health

Nanette Milne (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive how many health and fitness checks have been carried out in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools, broken down by local authority and expressed as a percentage of eligible children.

Adam Ingram: The information requested is not held centrally.

  All NHS boards in Scotland provide a child health programme. As part of the universal programme, all children are offered a Primary 1 health review and some boards may also offer reviews at other stages.

Livestock

John Park (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it regards the losses of livestock due to severe weather experienced on some farms during March 2010 as an animal welfare problem.

Richard Lochhead: The death of livestock due to severe weather is of concern. Both for the animals that died and because those that survived may have been exposed to extreme cold or lack of feed and water because of disruption to supplies.

Livestock

John Park (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what direct and specific assistance it made available to prevent animals suffering during severe weather in 2010.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government established a severe weather grant to provide livestock keepers with financial assistance towards the costs of providing alternative accommodation for livestock in the interests of animal welfare. 76 applicants received a total of just under £233,000.

Livestock

John Park (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what measures, not available in March 2010, it will introduce to prevent heavy losses of livestock during severe weather conditions

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government does not intend to introduce any new measures to prevent heavy losses of livestock during severe weather conditions.

  The responsibility for farm animal welfare rests with livestock keepers who have a duty to protect them from the effects of adverse weather in accordance with good practice. The statutory codes of recommendations for the welfare of livestock recommend that farmers should make plans for dealing with emergencies such as the disruption of supplies. Advice is also available from the Scottish Agricultural College.

Livestock

John Park (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has identified farmers who lost animals during severe weather in 2010 and how many animals were lost in each case

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has not identified individual farmers who lost animals during the severe weather in 2010 nor how many animals were lost.

Livestock

John Park (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has determined and recorded whether farmers who lost animals during severe weather in 2010 had implemented the advice and support that were available to them.

Richard Lochhead: No assessment has been undertaken to check whether livestock keepers who lost stock during the severe weather in 2010 implemented advice and support available to them.

Marine Environment

Robin Harper (Lothians) (Green): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-35264 by Richard Lochhead on 28 July 2010, what role will Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) play in the development of statutory guidance for disturbance of marine European protected species.

Richard Lochhead: Marine Scotland will consult Scottish Natural Heritage on the development of statutory guidance for disturbance of marine European protected species.

Marine Environment

Robin Harper (Lothians) (Green): To ask the Scottish Executive whether Marine Scotland will consult Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) before granting any licence under section 44 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government will take account of Scottish Natural Heritage views before granting any licence under section 44 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994.

Pre-School Education

Elizabeth Smith (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what procedures are in place to ensure that local authorities adhere to the guidelines set out on the Scottish Executive’s website regarding the operation of nursery partnerships.

Adam Ingram: The Scottish Government guidance on commissioning pre-school education partners is advisory and we do not monitor local implementation. It is for local authorities to decide how best to meet local needs and circumstances, including commissioning services from partner providers.

Pre-School Education

Elizabeth Smith (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what consultations have taken place between it and local authorities regarding the allocation of grant aided expenditure to the provision of places in partnership nurseries.

Adam Ingram: No specific consultations have taken place between the Scottish Government and local authorities regarding the allocation of grant aided expenditure to the provision of places in partnership nurseries. Funding decisions on the provision of local nursery services are for local authorities.

Pre-School Education

Elizabeth Smith (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what action it has taken to establish how many parents of nursery-age children are content with the nursery placements that their children have received since 2007.

Adam Ingram: All nurseries which offer both funded pre-school education and care are subject to integrated inspections by HMIE and Care Commission under the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001. These inspections include seeking the views of parents on the quality and levels of satisfaction with their local services.

Rail Services

Aileen Campbell (South of Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what speed restrictions are in place for trains passing through Carstairs railway station and Carstairs junction and for what reasons.

Stewart Stevenson: The Scottish Executive is aware that there are permanent speed restrictions for trains operating in both directions between Carstairs Station Junction and Carstairs East Junction. These restrictions comprise of 15 mph for a distance of 27 chains (543 metres) and 30 mph for 26 chains (523 metres). For clarity, this is only applicable on the route between Carstairs station and the Edinburgh line. The west coast route from Glasgow to Carlisle is operated at a much higher speed through the Carstairs area.

  Specific details of the reasons for operational and engineering speed restrictions on the rail network are the responsibility of Network Rail.

Renewable Energy

Lewis Macdonald (Aberdeen Central) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive, in light of its commitment to develop National Occupational Standards (NOS) to support the range of renewable technologies via Sector Skills Council’s NOS development plans, whether the safety competences developed by OPITO for the offshore oil and gas industry should be applied to the offshore renewables sector.

Jim Mather: As the lead trade and professional body for the UK wind and marine renewables industries, RenewableUK have held initial discussions with OPITO regarding safety competencies.

  Following on from those discussions RenewableUK have taken responsibility for the health and safety training standards and approvals protocols for the wind energy and marine renewables sector in the UK.

  The Scottish Government continues to be in close engagement with RenewableUK in order to ensure this critical issue is taken forward in Scotland.

Renewable Energy

Lewis Macdonald (Aberdeen Central) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive when it initially planned to establish a pilot project to develop a national data-sharing centre to improve the co-ordination of scientific work in relation to consents and planning for renewable energy projects and what the timetable for this was.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has not planned to establish such a pilot project.

Science

Lewis Macdonald (Aberdeen Central) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how it intends to fund the pilot project to develop a national data-sharing centre to improve the co-ordination of scientific work in relation to consents and planning.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has no current plans to fund such a project.

Scottish Natural Heritage

Lewis Macdonald (Aberdeen Central) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive when it was informed by Scottish Natural Heritage that it could not fund the pilot project to develop a national data-sharing centre.

Richard Lochhead: Scottish Natural Heritage informed Scottish Government officials on 2 September 2010 that it would not be able to fund the data sharing project submitted by Aberdeen University.

Waste Management

Jim Hume (South of Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what the recycling rate for (a) domestic and (b) municipal waste was in 2009-10, broken down by local authority, also showing the national average compared with the national target.

Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government does not hold 2009-10 domestic recycling rate data. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is not expected to publish this data until the spring of 2011.

  The table below contains the 2009-10 recycling rates for municipal waste collected by local authorities.
